Armstrong and Spallumcheen residents, how does your garden grow?

If you have room for an extra row or two, you can help out the Spallumcheen Armstrong Food Initiative Society (SAFIS).

"We hear on the news every day the challenges people are facing with putting food on the table," said SAFIS in a release. "One thing you could do if you are able and willing is to 'Grow a Row.'"

SAFIS will start its produce sharing program at the Community Garden (behind the red caboose on Smith Drive) on Monday, July 7, but the organization is encouraging anyone who has room in their gardens to plant an extra row or two.

"Any excess produce can be brought to the volunteers at the Community Garden between 9 and 10 a.m. on Monday," said SAFIS. "From 10 to 12 o'clock, this will be passed on to people who do not have access to fresh fruits and vegetables."

To accommodate people who are working, or who can't drop off or pick up in the morning, the Community Garden will also be open from 5 to 6:30 p.m. for drop off and pick up.

The program will run every Monday from July 7 to Oct. 6.
